"I have been making an identical cake to this one for many years... let me make it even simpler! There is no need to cream butter and sugar together, this is not a light airy cake . Put all the ingredients, except apples and nuts, into a food processor and pulse until you have fine breadcrumbs, like making a crumble. Then mix in apples, nuts (I prefer sultanas) and beaten egg until combined. Done!

I too was sceptical about this cake, as a pro baker it goes against the principles of cake making, but it is simple and delicious.

I use more cinnamon as I find the taste disappears during cooking. I also have made the same cake using pears and chopped stem ginger... yummy.

If you want to take it a step further pulse together 1/4 cup butter (1 stick/4 ounces), 1/4 cup Demerara sugar, 1/2 cup all purpose (plain) flour, a good pinch of salt and one teaspoon of cinnamon until it resembles slightly chunky breadcrumbs. Sprinkly over the top for a delicious crumble topped cake. Don't over pulse as it will become cookie dough!

"Before writing this review, I emailed everyone I know this recipe! It is surprisingly wonderful. Made according to directions and was a bit skeptical before placing in oven. Much more like a thick dough than cake batter but it baked to a perfect tender texture. Unlike many apple cake recipes, this one the apple truely shines thru in the taste. I agree with others that the cut pieces look a little rustic but the flavor makes up for it. Baked exactly 32 minutes. Perfect."

"The cake is delicious and easy to make. However, it is difficult to make nice slices or cuts on the cake and would not make a nice presentation if you are planning to serve or give to others. Other than that, it's a flavurful and good cake."

"incredible only one egg and sooooo delicious.. mmmmh cinnamon taste and lots of apple fruit .. I loved it, my friends too mmmmh Looks like this, smell a lot and tastes so good. I put only a bit less as 3/4 sugar combined with Brown and White sugar"
